Poll Vote for the best CyanogenMod 9 Rom here - HTC One X

Hi with so many cyanogenMod 9 roms out there now and to help new comers choose between roms I thought I would start a poll to help decide which is better as the roms progress with newer builds.I will add new roms as they come hope this helps people to choose thanks.

why is this a checkbox poll? it should be radio buttons, since there can only be 1 "best"

I voted for Domination.. :good::good::good:

TeamNDVRu. The only build without any camera issues (not focusing on faces).

Voted for TeamNDVRu. A2DP works only in this rom.

TeamNDVRu gets my vote mainly for having updates nearly on a daily basis, and feels pretty close to being an official nightly.

I also love team ndvru release it feels clean fash stable and most important it works.

What, TeamNDVRu? Which one is that?
Edit: nwm found it

instead of 5 versions of Cyangen, fixing the same problems over and over, they should be working together to make ONE Cyangen that actually works......

They are working togather ... A bug once fixed in a ROM is pulled to other versions. There maybe some who don't :silly:

Hello Voted for CyanogenMod9 alpha 7 - TeamNDVRu:good:

Why didn't you include the first CM9 that was available on xda, and the only one that has nightly builds? (Intrepresentation's originally and then picked up by tgascoigne)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661629
And I don't think Domination is really a "CM9" build, rather a Based-on-CM9 since it has many extra features and has differed significantly from a stock CM9 install (not that there is anything wrong with that).

The TeamNDVRu is the best, but the Endeavor Unleashed isn't bad

You got that spot on

TeamNDVRu

THIS.
Choice is good, naturally but too many of the same thing and it doesn't benefit anyone in the end. In principle, competition may be good but it's almost like two stores under selling each other to get the customers or the glory or what have you.
If one team comes up with a solution, and the others copy it? then who is really benefiting here? where's the innovation in other releases?
These teams should really work together and find a FINAL CM9 build and THEN based their future ROMs on this official unofficial CM9 ROM.

Too many Similiar ROMs

Hey fellow XDA members
Like many of you, I'm a really frequent ROM flasher, and every now and then, I find my phone on a CM9 or AOKP ROM. When the first CM9 and AOKP ROMs came for the One X, everyone, including me, were obviously excited. But over the past week or so, there are now just too many CM9 ROMs and a few AOKP ROMs as well.
According to my short research, there are at the moment 4 CyanogenMod 9 ROMs for the HTC One X, all of them being unofficial. I really appreciate what the people are doing, but the thing is, that not only are us flashers confused, but if the Devs worked together, all the bugs and kinks can be ironed out much much faster and easily.
There are 4 CyanogenMod 9 ROMs (in chronological order):
1) Interpresentation's CM9
2) Owain94's Domination CM9
3) TripNRaVeR's CM9
4) tbalden's CM9
Also, there are two AOKP ROMs:
1) nycbjr's AOKP
2) the|gamer's AOKP
Wouldn't it be better for us if there was one AOKP ROM and maybe 1 or 2 CM9 ROMs? What if these devs worked together? And produced one complete functional ROM instead of many? It would also be better for us flashers, won't it?
Hit thanks if you are in support.
@Mods, I'd really appreciate it if you let this post stay in the Development section as those are the audience I target with this.
I'd really appreciate it, just doing what I think is right
Cheers,
-theDroidfanatic
That's because many of them want to add special features, others prefere "stock" CM9, Slim made a CM9 "AOKPized", with light files and great optimizations. That's the reason why we won't have only 1 or 2 AOSP roms, devs don't want to work together...
Check my comparison thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709962

I see your point for posting the thread in the dev section, however, this doesn't make it the right place
So moved to general.
@Topic: Of course it would be better if everyone was working on one single build.
But due to the nature of humans and their egos, this won't happen.
So just enjoy the little differences between the builds and wait until someone fixed the errors and the rest can apply these fixes too.
It's slow but steady

CM9 Stable

Looks like the G2 (Desire-Z) will not be getting CM9 stable as I have been keeping an eye on this list since last week's launch:
http://get.cm/?type=stable
Does anyone in this dev thread know why? I know there are unofficial RCs and the nightlies, but I avoid them and only go for stable. I was hoping it would get ICS stable but it appears 7.2 Gingerbread will be this device's final stable ROM.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

We don't have the needed drivers/source code HTC backed out on us. Aside from that though Mimicry is VERY stable I'd recommend flashing it!
Many roms past GB are very stable now. From Sense 4.0, to ICS, to even JB nightlies are reportedly smooth.
I use this ICS as a daily driver and it's very stable (AOKP): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642443
JB nightlies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016 Weren't stable when I tried them, but I hear they're really good now. Might try later this week.
It all has to do with drivers being released or something from Qualcomm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822694
I don't know if it's true. The thread doesn't provide much information, maybe someone can clarify.
Are the drivers really released and being incorporated into roms? People are saying they are already being used in those JB nightlies.
As for not being out officially by CM... I don't even think they started working on it.

There are no official CM9 roms for the vision. The unofficial roms (Andromadus & the one by jerl92) are the closest thing, but they are only based on Cm9, not released by or associated with the actual Cyanogenmod team. The reason there even is a CM9 based rom is thanks to Andromadus.
That said, Mimicry will have a new version out this week based on the repo for CM9 stable. The non-device specific code anyway, the other branches are of course unofficial and not supplied by the CyanogenMod team.

Yes, the qualcomm drivers have always been incorporated into Andromadus roms as soon as they're available. Since the other roms are based on Andromadus (AOKP, jerl92's), they also incorporate the new drivers.

The word around the Cyanogenmod Google+ site is that its coming but that it will take some time given that the drivers need to basically be written from scratch. This is a list of devices that are being droppped from any further releases of CM past CM7. The vision is not included on the list so you could say there is a glimmer of hope but I guess you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Only mentions of the DesireZ/G2 in that posting is in the comment section, they're probably talking bout semi-newer devices. I still think we have a better chance of getting it 'fully' working under the Andramadus team's effort (still cM9 but probably the best it's going to be for our devices). ie: if drivers are written from scratch, it most likely won't be done by the CM team, but will probably be incorporated into their project when done.

Thats the point. Its not listed among those which are being discontinued and most of those devices are over 2 years old. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to take anything away from the Andramadus team. I'll probably end up giving mimicry a run soon. I'm just trying to point out that the door hasnt been officially shut yet on this device as far as an official cm9 build goes.

I doubt the One S/One X aren't going to get CM9 Actually, I could complain about CM turning into SamsungMod, but I don't really give a damn. Just look through the supported device list yourselves, folks...

Is One X development going anywhere?

Honest question. Football is gone and AOSP roms never got full driver support or a decent battery life. CM still only has nightlies and there will probably never be a stable CM on the One X. Do you think there is a future for One X development?
Aosp roms are fine there only issue is the camera.
Pretty sure all will be fine. Regardless of roms. Its still one of the most beasty phones arounds

yes...and cause Football has gone it is not the end of the world..and to be honest kinda disrespectful to the other devs here on XDA..

So if one person has gone does not mean everything has fallen out of place...
AW: Is One X development going anywhere?
Strictly speaking, there is no android rom, wether stock or custom, that is at "final" stage
Thank people as long as you can...
Seriously! There is multiple 4.2 roms out including one released in the past few days which are nearly all working apart from a few minor issues. There is no jb kernel out yet but yet these roms are 90°/ working. If I was one of our hard working devs I'd be feeling kinda pissed.

I don't see why it's disrespectful, and I have donated to Mike in the past. I am just stating facts. All Sense roms have the same base. Bases that mostly came from Football. I'm just trying to start a chat to see if there are any new things coming up besides the small bug fixes.

We're waiting on 3.x kernel sources from HTC. That'll improve AOSP builds a lot.
Not to undermine Football, but at most all he did was speed up dev around 2 months as he leaked early HTC RUUs.

True..But at the same time he is not the only one who can get Sense roms.. So again Football is not the lone factor of the development scene for the One X..Many developers are not just him. And again it is not about donating to other devs that shows your support it is just acknowledging them and supporting them like everyone else here, which i am sure you do. And i agree with the post above mine..
You got Trip, Lord Clockan, Tbalden, Floatshow, so many more..the list is endless...Development will not stop..infact my friend it has just started..and with kernel source i would not be surprised to see more kernel developers having a go..

This isn't just a good point for the One X - it's true for all HTC handsets and sense based XDA devs.
Yes their are other sources of advanced roms but football leaked the vast majority first. So yes there will be leaks still I'm sure.. but they'll be less ahead of official releases probably and less diverse and prolific.
It is all about HTC cracking down on modding of their material and making what we like here less advantageous.
So I agree - it is a big deal for all XDA. Which XDA is being very quiet about at its official level too when it's without doubt a news worthy event.
Thread closed
This thread is pointless and helps nobody. All that is said here is true for every device out there and only leads to arguing.

Just a question about ROMs and building them

So OGP community. I like ROMs. You like ROMs. We all like ROMs.
If you could have any ROM on this phone. What would it be? Why?
Is there a reason for somebody to build it for our device? Is it in Lollipop?
Any ROM at all?
I might take another ROM or two under my wing for weekly builds now that Lollipop is here. Especially since Carbon is taking it's good ol' time updtaing. :l
Happy flashing
As long the ROM supports F240x, I'll be good.
Any of the Bliss or Beanstalk ROMs. I would like to have TWRP work with the lollipop encryption if that is possible. That's not related to the ROMs though.

On all my devices i like slimrom roms. But on the e980 , nothing really strong on the latest slimrom.
i wish for a stable kitkat versions because every time when a new android version comes out, the rom developers run to make their rom with their latest android versions. i do understand that they take time to offer their rom with the latest android in order to compete each other but, the old bugs which might not be reported so often or getting ignored, wont get fixed and so it results to half fixed rom versions which the devs dont pay attention anymore bc they all want the latest stuff but plenty of bugs. so how can some of us suppose to profit from custom roms when the older androids arent finished ? that s the reason why some more ppl running back to stock roms which you are not able to custumize your settings and tweaks like no other...
that s my opinion, i hope you understand what i mean...

I do! I agree, for the most part. But actually many ROM makers continue to support KitKat builds to finalize them for people like you, who prefer stability (Totally understandable). I'll build Carbon's final KitKat build when they're done and you can bet your butt that'll be stable!
I want to focus on Lollipop because there's going to be a whoooole year ahead of us on it, may as well start now I suppose
Sorry the ROM community overlooks you, I hope you are able to experience a stable custom Android experience soon

Well, I'm here for a solid number of months yet. And, if need be I'll write a good tut for building ROMs for our phone specifically if it is necessary before I leave for a new phone. Anybody can build, you just need a decent computer, some intelligence, and lots of patience. So that's not too much of a concern

"Firstly, our Kitkat nightlies will be on a code freeze from here on out. No new features, nothing of that sort. Only bug fixes and commits that add to the ROM’s stability will be considered for admittance. The two nightlies normally released each week will also not being produced anymore. We will do our best to get the bugs fixed and release a final Kitkat Milestone build sometime in the future, but no guarantees as usual."
Sounds like they're working for a stable KitKat still. KitKat kernel? Mmmm :T The commits in the LP kernel took quite some time. I don't even have the old sources anymore. I suppose I can go redownload them but that's a lot of work for not very many users benefits.
I will look into it I suppose.

HTC 10 ROMS based on AOSP, AOKP, CM, DU, etc.

I'm new to HTC (but certainly not new to the world of custom ROMs). Is there a likelihood we'll see ROMs not based on HTC's software? Has HTC been good in the past releasing the necessary software to the developers to port other ROMs to this device? This is the only major thing I feel is missing with this phone. I'm enjoying having my root apps back and whatnot but I do miss having those truly custom ROMs.
We absolutely will see a ton of ROMS. It's just going to take some time. The device is brand new. Give it some time. Based on timing, it's also possible some devs are going to just jump right into N adding a little delay.
Either way, this is a dev friendly flagship, so we will definitely get variety.
yes it would get a ton of custom roms...
but definitely not a pure aosp rom or rom built from scratch on aosp for HTC 10 or any of the HTC devices so far...
that only happens with very few devices and definitely our pure love Nexus!!!!!
i miss those aosp builds already and still holding onto Nexus because ofthat....
Me too, im looking forward for them. I just jumped from a nexus 5, and i'm very pleased with the 10 but i do miss the customization and the pure android feel. God bless the developers, and hopefully we gonna see a pure aosp rom soon
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
To be honest it all depends. 1. If the development get the device or 2. Some one gets it and does the work. The second option is most likely as most development teams fight only nexus devices and leave the other devices to people that buy them.
friendly bump it's August...safe to say no hope for any other types of ROMs?
Just bought my wife a gold OnePlus3. It's like a Nexus...stupid simple OEM unlock and ROMs up to wahzoo....tempting to switch over. I still like the display and the audio on the HTC 10 for now. It's pretty snappy and I'm happy with Viper but I do miss all the other "tweaks."
The main resaon for missing other Rom's is the later Release of this Device. But i think u only need one ROM, its Viper that u use... i recive my Device this Month and i know that i dont miss this CM Based things.

Not even close! Check the cm13 dev thread, development is more or less just getting started in porting it over (even though a lot has already been done, just what's left is not small)
A lot of custom AOSP roms start with cm as a base, so once they get the rest of the hardware/kernel level stuff figured out you'll start seeing the typical wave of them shortly thereafter.
Just remember this stuff is a hobby and it's summer time (at least in the states) so be patient.
Honestly, I've held out even unlocking so far in part because of this. There's enough on stock that the value isn't there for me until there's a tasty selection of both AOSP and sense roms for me to try
With all the stuff going on surrounding Cyanogen I wouldn't be surprised if we stop seeing CM ROM development altogether.

I guess it depends on how specific one needs to be on the definition. CM is an AOSP-based ROM, see http://www.cyanogenmod.org/about, so any other ROM using CM as a base would in my eyes ultimately be AOSP-based itself. Put into analog, let's say you take some wood and build a chair. Then later you cut down that chair a bit to make a foot stool, maybe cut in a cup-holder and paint on some cool new QS tiles. Is that stool made out of wood or made out of chair?

CM is now as far away from AOSP as any other oem based rom.

that is very true
but the point i was trying to make there was that most if not all non-oem roms (at least for htc handsets) rooted in AOSP are either based on cm or wind up getting ported with a HAL cherry-picked from cm. (just what i've seen)
the first domino has gotta fall

You would really be amazed. Most people are avoiding use anything from cm. Maybe only the theme engine but that isn't even really theirs. With CM history of not testing commits and bugs that have been around for years unfixed. Many are finding it easier just to not deal with cm. Plus the main devs ticked alot of devs off so they won't use it out of principles.

I've always felt CM 6-7 was very well polished and after so many devices being introduced, has lost it's reliability and polishness that OEMs offer after CM 7.

Yeah I'm basing all that off what I saw with the jewel which I just now jumped from. I'm a coder but not an Android dev by any stretch, and was rolling my own cm for the better part of the past year and dabbled in porting briefly.
I can totally see what you're saying though. At some point you get too many hands in the pot and it becomes more curse than blessing.
Sorry to bump this up again but is there any active development on AOSP for the 10? Haven't seen anything yet.
